Over the years I think I've heard all the old wives' tales about cleaning. Linda Cobb sets the record straight. For example, cleaning windows with newspaper is not a good idea. Linda has all the answers from cleaning the bathroom to repelling bugs outside the nonchemical (environmentally friendly) way. This book is a dream come true for those who clean -- and those who aspire (like me) to clean. Linda even provides, at the end of the book, an 8-page resource guide, so you can easily decide what you need to get for that dirty job. I can tell you this -- I'm actually excited about tackling "my dirt" for the first time ever. Linda Cobb, thanks for putting it all together, so I can take care of all my dirty business. Here are links to the bookstore for the three editions available: There is the Paperback edition, an abridged audio book on cassette tape , and the abridged audio book on a CD . Audio books are useful if you like to listen in the car. However, this is primarily a reference book, and the audio editions don't have any form of index. Therefore, for convenient reference at home, I most recommend the Paperback , which has a 10-page 2-column index. Other works by the same author, this time focusing on laundry issues ~~ Talking Dirty Laundry With the Queen of Clean , by Linda C. Cobb (Paperback, 176 pages) , published in March 2001. Like the previous book, it is also available as an abridged audio book on cassette tape , as well as an audio CD . For the same reason indicated above, the usefulness of an index, the Paperback is preferable for handy reference at home.
